Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to medical diagnostic ultrasound systems, and more particularly to can be by diagnosing the upper useful plane of delineation
Real time imagery is carried out to perform the ultrasonic system of heart of fetus diagnosis.
Background technology
Ultrasonic imaging is routinely used for the development of the fetus in the uterus that gestation evaluates in mother.Heart of fetus surpasses
Sound examination is intended to detect structure sexual abnormality (generally congenital heart defect or CHD), and including the standard to heart of fetus
The analysis of two-dimentional (2D) image views.Typical normal view includes four chambers and sees and make it possible to evaluate left ventricle (LV) efferent tract
With the view of right ventricle (RV) efferent tract.Other views that can be required include the sight of five chambers, three Vessel Views and tracheae and seen.It is actual
On, these views usually disclose most CHD.The traditional approach for the image of view that clinician's collection each requires is,
When ultrasonic probe contacts with belly sound, ultrasonic probe is manipulated until desired anatomical structure is oriented in the flat of 2D imaging probes
In face.For example clinician manipulates probe first, until seeing heart of fetus in the sight of four chambers.Clinician is then store in
The image or image sequence of the view in one or more heartbeats.Terminate image storage, and clinician manipulates spy again
Head, now attempt the aligning drawing views by the plane of delineation and LV efferent tracts.When clinician is successfully by the plane of delineation with being somebody's turn to do
During aligning drawing views, another image or image sequence are stored.Probe is repeated for required three-view diagram and other views to manipulate
With the processing of storage.Using the process, can exist and omit abnormal a large amount of cases, because obtaining and analyzing these views
It is required that high technical ability：Study of Fetal Echocardiography is highly dependent upon operator.In addition, fetus can move during the process,
When being moved fetus, it is desirable to which clinician makes herself reorientation with heart of fetus.
With the appearance of three-dimensional (3D) acquiring ultrasound image (especially time-space image associates, or STIC, agreement), present energy
The whole volume of heart of fetus and blood vessels adjacent is enough caught, and is able to carry out to the 2D views of any orientation position in heart
Calculate and rebuild, including criterion calculation is rebuild, or even after patient is discharged.By making the 2D planes of delineation on heart of fetus
Slowly scan to guide STIC processes, it can spend 10 seconds or more.The purpose is that collection is each in the fetal heart beat cycle
The image of each adjacent anatomical structures plane of heart of fetus at stage.This is a large amount of on many cardiac cycles by gathering
Image is completed, because described image plane is scanned on heart.It is subsequently used for user guided image procossing
The main time periods of whole heart of fetus are extracted from the 2D frames gathered.The information is subsequently used for re-assemblying the frame
Into a series of volumetric images, each image is at the different phase of cardiac cycle.Then by being referred to as multiplanar reconstruction (MPR)
Processing, by user from the volume extraction standard 2D views.Clinician is required to scan for throughout Different Plane orientation position
Volume, search for each normal view.Depending on the speed scanned and uniformity to the plane of delineation, some views can be twisted
It is or incorrect in anatomical structure.Next inspection is checked from one, the quality and uniformity of STIC volumes can change
It is very big.In addition, STIC images are not real-time, but the synthesis of the anatomical structure view from multiple different cardiac cycle structures
Retrospective reconstruction.Difficulty and limitation despite the presence of STIC processes, it is assumed that 3D workflows are intuitively and provide can be with
Competent instrument (for example, MPR) studies volumetric image data, and the way received now is that 3D fetal heart exams can be potential
Reduce misdiagnosis rate and improve workflow and the dependence (less technical ability) of operator in ground.
Perhaps, people think that real-time 3D ultrasonic imagings can be used in gathering the live volume image of heart of fetus.Sorry
It is that in most cases, current volume frame rate is not high enough, is not enough to provide enough spatial resolutions and time resolution
Both rates (volume fraction) can be actually used in the live 3D imagings of fetal heart imaging to make.Further, since it is only required to specific
The 2D planes of delineation heart of fetus is diagnosed, therefore do not utilize too many 3D information.If it can only gather needs
Plane, then these can be gathered with high more frame rate and with good more resolution ratio in principle.Therefore.In the presence of can
Come with good spatial resolution and temporal resolution while the ultrasound data of the 2D normal views required by providing is provided in real time
Need.
